I've always been a star. I'm just dusting off the crown.

Dotty was a Virginia hillbilly. She was a tomboy who had little time for dressing up or playing with other girls.

Saker is the elegant and sophisticated platinum princess, arguably the last icon of the golden

age of adult film, as well as the first icon of Porn's video era. How Dottie became Saker is the

subject of Saker's newly published autobiography, named after her most famous film Inside Saker.

For a time, her distinctive look dominated the industry, as she appeared in feature films,

Swedish erotica loops, and on the stripping circuit. But Saker was one of the rare figures who

transcended the X-rated business. In the 1980s, Playboy called her a bona fide

video phenomenon, just like Boy George and stereo television. She appeared on talk

shows and in mainstream magazines, she directed and produced her own film, and

spoke in front of the Meese Commission. Here was a strong independent woman

who showed that women could be sex symbols in front of the camera, as well

as having significant control over the end product. Long after she retired, she was still running

her fan club, making lucrative personal appearances, and being recognized on the streets

of her adopted hometown of Chicago, where she'd become a local celebrity. On this episode of the

reality report, I'm joined by my co-presenter April Hall and by Saker herself,

who talks frankly and openly about her life, the films, the money, the boyfriends,

the drugs, the celebrities, and the sex.

Stay tuned.

Saker, welcome to the Rialto Report.

Well, thank you for having me.

As you asked me to say, this is the highlight of my life.
